A Lesser Fear of Water is available at Lost Books Cebu

In celebration of Women’s Month, every week at our bookshop, we will be curating a collection of books written by Filipino women, honoring their legacy in the local literary landscape.

This year’s international theme, "Give to Gain," offers a profound perspective on how we engage with these stories. It suggests that when we give our time and undivided attention to reading the works of women, we gain a significantly wider and deeper understanding of our world.

Happy Women’s Month!

Because the big book stores do not really support local indie authors. We love independent book stores! The young people now are actively looking for filipino authors and these community 'third spaces' are the new gathering hubs for arts and culture in different cities across the archipelago. I'm happy my book is in these types of independent book stores with passionate founders and young readers. Thank you Lost Books Cebu 📚 daghang salamat! 😊 🩷
